thanks for posting Stulid, I didn't realize there was a section for monitors (so feeling stupider than I normally, thanks for moving it) I was having a look at some of the other topics in this section & I saw a really similar one where they recommended a much more expensive monitor (personally didn't like the look of it) but just curious why you'd recommend these 2? 
& at the risk of sounding dumber than I already do... should I install the CD that came with the monitor? everything seems to be working :S
